How to trigger custom commands after Rust rewrite?

[ProvoK]

Hi there

after an update I found walker was completely rewritten, dropping features and changing basically everything (config, cli usage, etc)

I'm looking for a way to trigger a simple custom command in background, I couldn't find a working example in the docs (customcommands provider seems to not exists, even if it's documented).

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The customcommands got dropped, because there were quite a few "similar" concepts that all get replaced by the elephant menus provider. You can use that to achieve what you want.

The rewrite is a few months old now XD

@abenz1267 thanks for the fast reply, but I couldn't make it work

my config

$  cat ~/.config/walker/config.toml
[[entries]]
async = "cura -platformtheme gtk3"
keywords = ["cura", "ultimaker"]
text = "cura-gtk3"

[providers]
default = ["desktopapplications", "calc", "menus", "websearch"]

end result

I'm not sure those entries should be there, but honestly the documentation is not very clear about it

tried also on elephant config, same result

$ cat ~/.config/elephant/providers/menus.toml
[[entries]]
async = "cura -platformtheme gtk3"
keywords = ["cura", "ultimaker"]
text = "cura-gtk3"

well, i'm not sure how you think you'll create multiple menus this way :P.

elephant generatedoc menus prints out markdown you can check for elephant documentation.

thanks, got it working :)

For future readers that might have the same issue:

$ cat ~/.config/elephant/menus/custom.toml
name = "custom"
name_pretty = "CustomCommands"
icon = "applications-other"
global_search = true

[[entries]]
text = "cura-gtk3"
actions = { "run" = "cura -platformtheme gtk3" }
keywords = ["cura", "ultimaker"]
